Led by the U.S. Army, the Future Vertical Lift Program is replacing aging rotary-wing aircraft with next-generation versions. Potentially, these new rotorcraft may be used across the Department of Defense (DoD) services and with U.S. Allies.

At Gore, we continue to innovate for the future and look forward to collaborating with Future Vertical Lift stakeholders to solve operational challenges for today’s enduring fleet and tomorrow’s advanced rotorcraft. Our products are proven to ensure failure-free protection, performance, and survivability so our troops can complete their missions successfully and come home safely to their families.

For decades, we’ve been a trusted partner to the armed forces who continue to rely on our products because failure isn’t an option.

Reliable Products over Rotorcraft Lifespan

Our aerospace and defense capabilities are proven to deliver long-term, installed performance in a variety of avionics and airframe applications. Products like GORE® Ethernet Cables, GORE® Fiber Optic Cables and GORE-FLIGHT® Microwave Assemblies enable aircrew to succeed in the full range of missions required in current and future rotorcraft.

These wires and cables enable reliable, multi-domain operations by:

  • providing reliable, safe high-voltage power
  • delivering extremely high-speed, high-volume data/video
  • maintaining exceptional RF signal performance
  • saving weight and enhancing payload options
  • lowering total operating costs
  • facilitating quick, trouble-free routing
  • ensuring precise, repeatable test measurements

GORE® SKYFLEX® Aerospace Materials are dry tapes and gaskets that have been proven over the years on aircraft structures. They’re easy to install while providing reliable, repeatable sealing and surface protection from corrosion and other operating challenges. And we continue to develop innovative capabilities and solutions to support future aircrew needs.
